The team will field a chrome, black and gold scheme on its #19 Matt Payne\/Will Davison and #26 Kai Allen\/Tim Slade entries.<\/p>\n

It showcases the new Penrite Automotive brand, with Penrite Filters on the bonnet and Blahst pressure washers on the rear quarters.<\/p>\n

Blahst is currently a co-sponsor of the Blanchard Racing Team and was recently acquired by Penrite.<\/p>\n

Penrite Automotive CEO Toby Dymond said the livery represents the evolving nature of the company that has been synonymous with oil for 100 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis livery is a celebration of how far Penrite has grown, bringing together the Penrite Automotive brands including Autolite, Blahst, Ultima and Ezilift, with Penrite Filters proudly featured on the bonnet,\u201d Dymond said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe liquid gold design is bold, distinctive and a great reflection of the energy behind our brands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud to see the Penrite Automotive family represented on one of the biggest stages in Australian motorsport.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grove Racing scored its maiden Bathurst crown last year with Payne and Garth Tander, who retired from driving following the Great Race.<\/p>\n

Payne heads to Mount Panorama leading the drivers\u2019 title while Grove Racing shows the way in the teams\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to present our 2026 Penrite Racing entries for the Repco Bathurst 1000 in what is a very memorable livery,\u201d said Grove Racing CEO Brenton Grove.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team has got a lot of momentum heading into this one but also we know there are plenty of expectations heading to the Mountain as the reigning champs, but the team is well prepared and ready to defend our crown.\u201d<\/p>\n

Practice for the Bathurst 1000 kicks off on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Penrite Racing Ford Mustangs at Bathurst.
